Five Secrets To Strengthening Your Resilience Muscle

We all have the ability to be resilient. Resilience is like an invisible muscle that is woven through every fibre of our being, and it requires exercise to strengthen and grow. This past year, Blair had plenty of life experiences that helped her bulk up that muscle: She was in a car accident and suffered a brain injury, her husband had a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery, she suffered a miscarriage and that’s not even half of it. But despite it all, she became a best-selling author, publishing her first, second and third books that all rose to #1 on Amazon. This inspiring presentation highlights five exercises that can increase your ability to be resilient.
